[patch] nbd: blk_mq_init_queue returns an error code on failure, not NULL

From: Jeff Moyer
Date: Mon Jan 09 2017 - 15:20:39 EST


Additionally, don't assign directly to disk->queue, otherwise
blk_put_queue (called via put_disk) will choke (panic) on the errno
stored there.

Bug found by code inspection after Omar found a similar issue in
virtio_blk. Compile-tested only.
